Why do you use household ratings here but nowhere else? Ad deals for syndicated shows are largely based on household ratings and, for daytime shows, ratings among women 25-54.

What about “The Simpsons”? “Simpsons” repeats in syndication are not counted in the weekly ratings because they don’t include any national advertising.

“Weekend Adventure” is a package of nature shows airing weekends on many ABC stations.

For syndicated shows airing on multiple days, the viewership is the average of all telecasts.

AT = Additional Time/Telecasts, more than the typical number of episodes or time periods/week.

“Dr. Phil” (3.1) continued its long reign as the top syndicated talk show, and “Inside Edition” tied “Entertainment Tonight” as the top magazine show at 3.0.

Ratings for syndicated shows were down a bit overall as many stations pre-empted daytime programming to air Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony before Congress.

Why do you use household ratings here but nowhere else? Ad deals for syndicated shows are largely based on household ratings and, for daytime shows, ratings among women 25-54.

What about “The Simpsons”? “Simpsons” repeats in syndication are not counted in the weekly ratings because they don’t include any national advertising.

“Weekend Adventure” is a package of nature shows airing weekends on many ABC stations.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/more-tv-news/one-week-in-tv-3000-shows-133-networks-4-months-worth-of-programming/#commentsThu, 05 Apr 2018 21:24:00 +0000http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/?p=517322The week of March 5 was arguably the first “typical” week of TV in 2018: no primetime NFL playoff games, no Winter Olympics, no big awards shows or other events. The broadcast networks aired mostly new episodes of their shows in primetime, and cable channels that program originals were largely up and running too.

Chances are, however, that you watched only a minuscule amount of what the TV universe had to offer. In fact, it would have been literally impossible for a person to watch everything on primetime television as it aired during the week of March 5.

TV by the Numbers took a deep dive into the vast amount of programming that airs in a given week, using March 5-11 as the case study. The data below dissect just how much programming there is in a given week — and just how little of it pulls in what we think of as a sizable audience.

The numbers cited below come mostly from Nielsen Live +7 ratings for the week. It’s not a complete picture, as those figures don’t include streaming services like Netflix or Hulu; PBS or C-SPAN, commercial-free channels whose ratings aren’t included in most public Nielsen reports; and some smaller cable and satellite channels (ESPN Classic and DirecTV’s Audience channel, among others) that don’t opt in to Nielsen’s measurement.

It also doesn’t include thousands more hours of daytime and late-night programming (we’ll get to some of that in a bit). But it’s pretty representative of an average week on TV, and it will give you a good sense of just how vast the scope of the medium is today.

The (overwhelming) numbers

In the week of March 5, 3,062 Nielsen-rated programs — both originals and (mostly) repeats — aired in primetime. Only about 14 percent of those shows aired on broadcast TV — ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, NBC, Ion; Spanish-language networks Univision, Telemundo, UniMas and Azteca; and services like MeTV and Bounce TV, which usually air on digital subchannels owned by a network affiliate.

The vast majority aired on 114 different cable channels:

Twenty-six broadcast and cable shows, not quite 1 percent of the total, made their season or series debuts in the week (15 more shows premiered on streaming services). Almost 70 percent of primetime shows (2,134 of them) were coded as reruns. Dozens of other shows most people would think of as repeats — old sitcom and drama episodes airing on a particular channel for the first time — are also part of the mix. Probably not more than a quarter of the 3,062 shows were original, first-run airings.

The total running time for all 3,062 shows was 168,526 minutes. That’s 2,808 hours, 46 minutes — just more than 117 days. If you had started watching every primetime show from the week at 8 p.m. ET March 5, you’d finish at 8:46 p.m. on June 30.

And here’s the thing: Statistically speaking, no one watched most of what was on. More than two-thirds of primetime shows drew less than half a million viewers, even with a week of delayed viewing. More than 20 percent had audiences under 100,000.

In the adults 18-49 demographic, the sweet spot for ad sales on broadcast and a number of cable networks, the top group is even smaller. Just 79 shows — a scant 2.58 percent — managed a 1.0 rating (roughly 1.28 million people in that age range), which is an OK-but-not-great mark for a network show and pretty solid for cable. More than 40 percent had 0.0 ratings, meaning no more than 64,000 adults under 50 watched.

The great majority of the 1.0-plus club in adults 18-49 were broadcast shows, while cable had more programs above 1 million viewers.

A great many of those unwatched shows are on channels in the 100s and up in your on-screen guide, offshoots of bigger names: Discovery Family, TeenNick, Universal Kids and the like. They’re usually included in digital tiers on cable and subsist mostly on subscription fees.

For the record, the least-watched shows for March 5-11 were “Comedy.TV” and two episodes of “Comics Unleashed,” all on the lightly distributed Comedy.TV; and a rebroadcast of a soccer match from Spain’s La Liga on beIN Sports. All four averaged 1,000 (yes, one thousand) viewers.

Primetime top 5s

The most-watched primetime shows of the week were pretty much what you’d expect: “The Big Bang Theory,” “The Walking Dead,” “This Is Us” and the like. Here are the top 5 shows across Nielsen’s three measurement periods — same-day, Live +3 and Live +7. First, adults 18-49:

Outside primetime

People obviously have their TVs on during the day as well — a lot of them. In fact, in same-day ratings, “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy” had bigger average audiences during the week of March 5 than all but four primetime shows.

We usually express syndication ratings in terms of households on TVBTN because that’s the basis for ad sales.

Why do you use household ratings here but nowhere else? Ad deals for syndicated shows are largely based on household ratings and, for daytime shows, ratings among women 25-54.

What about “The Simpsons”? “Simpsons” repeats in syndication are not counted in the weekly ratings because they don’t include any national advertising.

“Weekend Adventure” is a package of nature shows airing weekends on many ABC stations.

For syndicated shows airing on multiple days, the viewership is the average of all telecasts.

AT = Additional Time/Telecasts, more than the typical number of episodes or time periods/week.
